Fetchr 5.4 Beta 1

5.4 is intended to be a smaller release mostly bringing compatibility with up to 26.2.

It brings a separate download for 26.x, but you should use the regular download for world upgrades originating from a different version

⚠️ Download Options ⚠️

⚠️ Read before updating an existing save file ⚠️

• Fetchr-5.4-beta1.zip
  • Compatible with 1.21-26.2
  • Use when updating a Fetchr version originating from before 26.1-snapshot-6
  • Use when creating a fresh install in Minecraft version 1.21-26.1-snapshot-5

  • Compatible with 26.1-snapshot-6 to 26.2
  • Use when updating a Fetchr version originating from 26.1-snapshot-6 or later (for beta1 this is currently not the case for anybody, but will be relevant for future versions)
  • Use when creating a fresh install in Minecraft version 26.1-snapshot-6 to 26.2
  • ⚠️ Do not use this for updating existing Fetchr versions from before 26.1-snapshot-6, or your world will not be updated properly!

Changelog

• Added compatibility with all versions from 1.21 - 26.2
• Added a separate world download for 26.x
  • Use this for a fresh install in 26.1-snapshot-6 or later

• When playing in a 26.2 version, sulfur caves can now appear
• Error messages when opening Fetchr in an unsupported Minecraft version now use the full development version name if the version name is in the new style (e.g. the 26.x download will now say “This pack has been made compatible for Minecraft versions 26.1 Snapshot 6 to 26.2 Release Candidate 2”, whereas it is the following for the old format: “This pack has been made compatible for Minecraft versions 1.21-1.21.10, or up to snapshot 25w44a”)
  • Since all development versions are now possible to associate with their actual version name, this is now possible.
• Adjusted the item pool
• Renamed ”category chests” to “item pool display”
• The item pool chests now have a “Item Pool Display” name in their inventory
• All entities that are connected to another entity connected to the player will now be preserved correctly when returning to the lobby

Lobby Update Changes

There are now two world downloads. The one without a version name in their file name is compatible with all versions, and must be used when updating a old lobby from a Minecraft version prior to 26.1-snapshot-6, in order to apply the world format changes to your existing save file from that version.

The world download specifically for 26.x should be used to upgrade an existing world that originates from 26.1-snapshot-6 or later (which for this first beta should not happen yet, but is relevant for following versions).

Item Pool Changes

Sulfur Caves

Added new sulfur caves category which is available in 26.2-snapshot-1 and later.

• Bucket of Sulfur Cube
• Sulfur Spike

Gold and Ruined Portal

This category has been removed and split into three smaller categories with a couple of new entries

Updating a previous installation

Always do a backup of your world before updating! There is a chance of corruption

• Make a backup
• Download the world download
• Unzip the zip file
• Copy and replace all files from the world download in your save file

More information and caveats

When updating, player-placed blocks are preserved if possible, and dropped if the original block has changed compared to the new lobby version. If the part of the lobby has been entirely removed (like the machinery), blocks are dropped at the lobby spawn, otherwise they are dropped were they used to be placed.

For Fetchr versions that still had the machinery, the lobby will be moved slightly. In case there is a player-placed structure that partially intersects with the bounding box of a lobby section, the lobby section including that part of the player-placed structure will be moved, slicing the player-placed structure.

If you create a backup, you can safely test how the lobby update treats your lobby.

Entities that were changed will have their changed data updated, while preserving any changes that may have been made by the player (like switching the armor of an armor stand)

Dialogs

Quick Actions

A static quick actions dialog can now be accessed when pressing G by default (see “Quick Actions” keybind in the Miscellenaeous section).

The Quick Actions dialog is only available when playing in Minecraft version 1.21.6 or later.

Quick actions allow:

• Genreate a random card
  • A confirmation dialog to end the game will be shown if the player is currently in a game
• Genreate a card from seed
  • A confirmation dialog to end the game will be shown if the player is currently in a game
• Return to Lobby or Join Game
  • If the player is in the lobby, attempts to join a game, otherwise returns to the lobby
• Enter Spectator Mode
  • During the game, allows to enter spectator mode
• Move Players to Lobby or Spawn Preview
  • During an active game, moves all players to the lobby
  • When the spawn preview is ready, moves all players to the spawn preview
• Reveal Bingo Card
  • During a Concealed Card run, reveals the Bingo Card.
• Change Settings (see below)
• Find links to the issue tracker, Discord, and Map Download sources

Since there is no way to make the Quick Actions screen dynamic, all options will always be shown, even if they are not releveant.

You can also access the Quick Actions from the Fetchr Options screen, were they will be dynamically adjusted to only show relevant things.

Fetchr Options

In version 1.21.6 and later, all settings from the lobby have been added as a custom main menu entry. You can still change settings in the lobby as well.

Game Settings

The game settings dialog lets you change all settings you can also access in the lobby:

The settings screen is be reduced when in single player just like the lobby is.

On a server, you may be prompted to confirm your operator status first before being able to access this menu if operator-only controls are enabled.

Confirm Operator status

In version 1.21.6 and later, the prompt to confirm your operator status is now implemented as a dialog.

Additionally, the game now remembers the action you tried to perform and upon successful confirmation executes that action without the need to click the same sign again.

Generate Card from Seed

In version 1.21.6 and later, setting a seed is now done from a dialog. If you prefer, you can still directly use /trigger fetchr.seed set <seed> as well while in the lobby or the spawn preview area.

Target Time

In version 1.21.6 and later, setting a target time (previously “Points Race”) now happens through a dialog.

Pre-generation Radius

In version 1.21.6 and later, the selection of the area to pre-generate is now implemented as a dialog.
